As an integrated mining solution supplier focusing on mining equipment innovation, SHOWCONN is proud to launch its advanced series of underground core drilling rigs—engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern mining exploration. Designed for seamless operation in confined underground spaces and complex surface environments, these all-hydraulic rigs combine power, flexibility, and efficiency, empowering mining operators to unlock accurate geological data and optimize ore extraction workflows.
A Product Line Tailored for Underground Mining Excellence
SHOWCONN’s underground core drilling rig series (QZ-300, QZ-700, QZ-1000, QZ-1300) is meticulously crafted to address the unique challenges of underground exploration—from narrow tunnels to deep ore body sampling. Each model delivers targeted performance, covering a wide range of drilling depths and core sizes to suit diverse mining projects:
1. SHOWCONN QZ-300: Compact Power for Mid-Scale Exploration
Ideal for small to mid-sized underground mines, the QZ-300 balances agility and performance, making it perfect for preliminary geological surveys and shallow ore sampling.
· Key Specs: 45KW motor power, 660Nm spindle torque, and drilling depths up to 500m (for 46mm drill holes). Compatible with NQ/AQ drill rods, it yields core diameters of 27-48mm.
· Underground Advantage: Compact dimensions (3800×1500×1200mm main body) and 2100Kg total weight enable easy maneuvering in narrow tunnels, while ±90° vertical and 0°-360° horizontal drilling angles support multi-directional sampling.
2. SHOWCONN QZ-700: Reliable Performance for Medium-Depth Drilling
Engineered for medium-depth underground exploration, the QZ-700 excels in metal and coal mines, delivering consistent results for ore body delineation.
· Key Specs: 55KW motor power, 700Nm spindle torque, and maximum drilling depth of 700m (for 59mm drill holes). It supports HQ/NQ/BQ drill rods, producing core diameters of 36-63.5mm.
· Underground Advantage: 90KN axial tension enhances drill rod stability in deep holes, while the load-sensitive hydraulic system adapts to rock hardness, reducing energy waste and tool wear.
3. SHOWCONN QZ-1000: High-Power Solution for Deep Ore Exploration
The QZ-1000 is built for large-scale underground mines, tackling deep ore body exploration with unmatched torque and drilling efficiency.
· Key Specs: 75KW motor power, 1000Nm spindle torque, and drilling depths up to 900m (for 59mm drill holes). It accommodates HQ/NQ/BQ drill rods, with core diameters ranging from 37-63.5mm.
· Underground Advantage: 120KN axial tension ensures stability in ultra-deep holes, while the modular design simplifies maintenance in underground environments—critical for minimizing downtime.
4. SHOWCONN QZ-1300: Heavy-Duty Rig for Ultra-Deep Underground Projects
As the flagship model, the QZ-1300 is designed for ultra-deep underground exploration, meeting the demand for large-diameter, deep-length core drilling in high-yield mines.
· Key Specs: 90KW motor power, 1800Nm spindle torque, and maximum drilling depth of 1400m (for 59mm drill holes). It supports PQ/HQ/NQ/BQ drill rods, delivering core diameters of 37-85mm.
· Underground Advantage: 140KN axial thrust and tension handle the toughest rock formations (uniaxial compressive strength >80MPa), while the compact footprint (same main body dimensions as smaller models) ensures compatibility with existing underground infrastructure.
Core Technological Advantages for Underground Excellence
SHOWCONN’s underground core drilling rigs integrate industry-leading features to solve pain points in underground mining exploration:
· Load-Sensitive Hydraulic System: Adaptive drilling technology automatically adjusts power based on rock conditions, improving energy efficiency by 30% compared to conventional rigs and reducing operational costs.
· All-Angle Drilling Capability: Hydraulic-adjustable base enables ±90° vertical and 0°-360° horizontal drilling, eliminating the need for complex rig repositioning and supporting multi-directional ore sampling—critical for accurate geological mapping.
· Durable Clamping Mechanism: Spring-clamping + hydraulic-release design ensures reliable drill rod fixation, extending component life by 50% and reducing maintenance frequency—essential for 24/7 underground operations.
· Efficient Feeding System: Cylinder direct-drive feeding delivers 60-95KN axial thrust, ensuring stable penetration in hard rock while simplifying maintenance. The pilot-controlled operation panel reduces operator fatigue, with soft and minimal hydraulic impact for long shifts.
· Surface-to-Underground Versatility: Compact, modular design not only excels in underground tunnels but also adapts to complex surface environments, enabling mines to standardize equipment across exploration phases.
